1 Pacific Insects Vol. 22, no. 3-4: December by the Bishop Museum A NEW SPECIES OF OPHIOMEGISTUS (ACARI: PARAMEGISTIDAE) FROM A MALAYSIAN KUKRI SNAKE 1 By M. Lee Goff 2 Abstract. Ophiomegistus maximus is described as new from a Kukri Snake, Oligodon purbacens, collected in Selangor, Malaysia. Goff (1980) revised the genus Ophiomegistus Banks, 1914 and described 5 new species from scincid lizards. All known species of Ophiomegistus are reptile associates and of the 15 species treated by Goff (1980), only 2 had been reported from snakes: 0. luzonensis Banks, 1914 and O. clelandi Womersley, The remaining species had been reported from lizards, primarily skinks. Although originally described from snakes, O. luzonensis was subsequently also reported from skinks (Goff 1980). O. clelandi is known only from the unique holotype male. With the description of the new species below, the number of species in the genus is raised to 16, and a 3rd species is recorded associated with snakes. Holotype and allotype are in the collection of Bishop Museum, Honolulu, and paratypes there and in the collections of Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; Acarology Laboratory, The Ohio State University, Columbus; and Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All measurements are given in micrometres. Leg chaetotaxy follows Evans & Till (1965). Ophiomegistus maximus Goff, new species FIG. 1-4 Diagnosis. Easily separated from all other species in the genus by its size (idiosoma measuring 1648 x 980 in 9 and 1400 x 870 in 6) and number of setae on metapodal plates (12-16 in O. maximus, 0-3 in all other species). In having sternal plate entire and 5 pairs of setae in sternogenital region of the 6, O. maximus is similar to O. brachymeleus Voss, 1966, but differs in having all setae on ventral plates simple (subulate in O. brachymeleus), 2 pairs of setae on jugular plates (1 pair in O. brachymeleus) and only lanceolate expanded setae on mesogynial-ventrianal plate (both expanded elliptical and lanceolate setae on plate in O. brachymeleus). In having posteriorly elongated metapodal plates, O. maximus is similar to O. armouri Goff, 1979, from which it may be separated by having setae on metapodal plates (3 in O. armouri) and lacking a subapical spine on tritosternal laciniae (present in O. armouri). In size, O. maximus is most similar to O. luzonensis Banks, 1914 (idiosoma HOO x 1080 in paratype of O. luzonensis), from which it may be separated by having only 4 simple setae on mesogynial-ventrianal plate anterior to rows of expanded setae (more than 100 simple setae in O. luzonensis), latigynial plates fused posteriorly with mesogynial-ventrianal plate and bearing only 2 pairs of setae (distinctly separated from mesogynial-ventrianal plate and bearing more than 20 pairs of setae in O. luzonensis) and only 2 pairs of setae on jugular plates (more than 7 pairs of setae in O. luzonensis). Description of species. Holotype 9 measuring 1648 x 980. Dorsum. Plate large, covering entire idiosoma, surface with ca 96 pairs of minute setae (5-7 /xm); anterior margin with a pair of heavy, elongate setae 1. Studies upon which this paper is based were supported by NIH Grant 5 ROI AI to Bishop Museum. 2. Department of Entomology, Bishop Museum, P.O. Box A, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819, USA.

Immatures. Unknown. Type data. Holotype 9 (BISHOP 11,809), allotype S and 6 paratypes (2?,4cJ), MA LAYSIA: Selangor, Kepong, Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve, ex Kukri Snake, Oligodon purbacens (R 38208), 11.X.1954, J.R. Audy & M. Nadchatram. Remarks. Based on the setation ofthe metapodal plates, O. maximus runs to couplet 3 of the key in Goff (1980), along with O. clelandi Womersley, 1958 and O. australicus (Womersley, 1958). In both species, descriptions and diagnoses are incomplete due to lack of specimens representing both sexes (O. clelandi known only from the holotype 6 and O. australicus from 4 2). Setation of the metapodal plates differs significantly among available specimens of these 3 species (setae absent from metapodal plates of O. clelandi and only 3 setae present on each plate of O. australicus). In addition there are significant differences in the size of the idiosomae, the shape of the ventral plates, and the setation, which serve to separate these 3 species. The species name reflects the exceptional size of this species. Acknowledgments. Thanks are extended to Eddie Rosell for preparation ofthe illustrations. I am grateful to M. Nadchatram, Institute for Medical Research, Malaysia, for providing the collection data. LITERATURE CITED Evans, G. O. 8c W. M. Till Studies on the British Dermanyssidae (Acari: Mesostigmata).
